L.A.B Golf unveils new OZ.1 putter collection

L.A.B. Golf has today announced the launch of the OZ.1 putter collection. OZ.1 will be available in two models: OZ.1i that features the company’s first putter face insert, and OZ.1, which uses an all-aluminum construction.

The OZ.1 was developed in collaboration with 32-time tour winner Adam Scott. The partnership began in early 2023, with Scott sharing personal design goals that guided the development of OZ.1’s half-moon, solid-body construction.

“We’ve always challenged ourselves to develop putters that resonate with world-class golfers while retaining all the performance benefits of Lie Angle Balance. Collaborating with Adam Scott was an inspiring and rewarding process for our team, and it provided invaluable insights into the nuances of shape, feel, sound, and performance from one of the most experienced and respected players on the PGA Tour.” – Sam Hahn, CEO of L.A.B. Golf

OZ.1i vs. OZ.1

In the OZ.1i, “i” stands for insert. It features an aluminum body that is mechanically bonded to a fly-milled, medium-depth stainless steel insert in design to offer a firmer feel and faster ball speeds. OZ.1i is for golfers who prefer a responsive impact and the sleek look of insert putters.

For those favoring a softer feel, the one-piece, all-aluminum OZ.1 provides a similar experience to L.A.B. Golf’s best-selling DF3. Both OZ.1i and OZ.1 share the same size and shape, with the only difference being the face construction.

The OZ.1i and OZ.1 Custom models introduce a new 0-Degree (Vertical) Shaft Lean option, giving golfers the option of a vertical shaft at address and compatibility with standard grips.

Both models are also available with a 2-Degree Shaft Lean option, similar to the DF3, which pairs well with L.A.B. Golf’s Press Grip options.

The Custom versions of the OZ.1i and OZ.1 models extend L.A.B. Golf’s industry-leading customization offerings. By choosing an OZ.1i or OZ.1 Custom putter, golfers can select their preferred length, lie angle, head weight, color, alignment marking, shaft, shaft lean, and grip, ensuring that each putter is tailored to the individual.

OZ.1 Special Edition

In honor of Adam Scott’s contributions to L.A.B. Golf, the company has also launched OZ.1 Special Edition. This limited-edition release features L.A.B. Golf’s exclusive POLY ROO graphic on the sole, a tribute to Scott’s Australian heritage.

The green putters include a custom L.A.B. Golf x TPT Golf putter shaft with cream-colored graphics, a Seamus Golf headcover with a sheep wool interior, and packaging adorned with 32 L.A.B. Golf logos to celebrate Scott’s tour victories.

The OZ.1 Special Edition is now available at www.labgolf.com. The OZ.1i Custom and OZ.1i Stock models are expected to launch in December 2024, with OZ.1 Custom and OZ.1 Stock versions following in January 2025.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
